SUBJ/PRORATION OF IMMINENT DANGER PAY (IDP) AND THE REPORTING OF
HOSTILE FIRE PAY (HFP) EVENTS FOR NAVY RESERVISTS ON SHORT AND
LONG TOURS PAID BY DJMS-RC//
MILITARY PAY ADVISORY 13/12//
REF/A/DOC/P.L. 112-81/31DEC11//
AMPN/REF A IS THE NATIONAL DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION ACT (NDAA) FOR FISCAL
YEAR 2012 (PUBLIC LAW 112-81, 31 DEC 2011)//
RMKS/1. EFFECTIVE 1 JAN 2012 IAW PUBLIC LAW 112-81,
IMMINENT DANGER PAY (IDP) WILL BE PRORATED ON A DAILY BASIS WHEN DUTY
IS PERFORMED IN AN IDP AREA.
2. WHEN A C02 TIN (ALLOWANCES FOR ACTIVE DUTY LESS THAN 30 DAYS) IS
PROCESSED WITH IDP DAYS INCLUDED IN THE TRANSACTION IT IS
SYSTEMATICALLY REMOVED FROM THE DJMS-RC UPDATE CAUSING ALL PAY AND
ALLOWANCES TO REJECT FOR THE SHORT TOUR. DFAS CLEVELAND IS EDITING
THE C02 TIN TO EXCLUDE IDP DAYS, AND RESUBMITTING THEM ALONG WITH
THE REJECTED C01 (SHORT TOUR LESS THAN 30 DAYS) FOR PAYMENT. DFAS
CLEVELAND IS SUBSEQUENTLY SUBMITTING TIN C05 (PAY SHORT TOUR
ENTITLEMENTS) IN ORDER TO PAY THE IDP ENTITLEMENT.
3. WHEN A RESERVIST PERFORMS AN ACTIVE DUTY SHORT TOUR, AND IS
ENTITLED TO IDP, ACTIVITIES SHOULD EXCLUDE THE IDP DAYS FROM TIN C02.
ACTIVITIES SHOULD NOW PROCESS TIN C05 WITH ENTITLEMENT CODE 23 ONCE
THE C01/C02 HAVE UPDATED. THIS PROCEDURE WILL ELIMINATE THE DELAY OF
PAY AND ALLOWANCES FOR RESERVE MEMBERS SERVING ON SHORT TOURS.
4. FOR LONG TOURS (OVER 30 DAYS) CONTINUE TO PROCESS TIN A35
(HOSTILE FIRE/IMMINENT DANGER PAY) ONLY IF THE ACTUAL DATES OF THE IDP
ARE KNOWN. DFAS WILL EXTRACT THE A35 TIN FROM EACH UPDATE, AND CONVERT
THEM TO A D10 TIN TO PAY PARTIAL MONTHS IDP. IF THE ACTUAL DATES OF
THE IDP ARE NOT KNOWN WHEN PROCESSING A LONG TOUR A C05 SHOULD BE USED
TO PAY IDP AFTER EACH MID-MONTH AND EACH END OF MONTH UPDATE.
5. FOR HFP ON SHORT TOURS OR PARTIAL MONTHS OF LONG TOURS PREPARE A
DWOWS CASE WITH INCENTIVE PAY AS THE TYPE, AND FORWARD TO DFAS
CLEVELAND CENTRAL SITE. DFAS CLEVELAND WILL PROCESS A D02 TRANSACTION
THAT WILL ALLOW PAYMENT OF A FULL MONTH OF HFP, OR THE DIFFERENCE IN
PAY FOR A PREVIOUSLY PRORATED MONTH OF IDP.//
